Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs. chicken thighs (boneless & skinless)
- ½ tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp honey
- ¼ cup greek yogurt
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare the lemon by cutting it in half, saving one half for serving wedges.
- Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut them into pieces, about 2-3 inches in size.
- Sprinkle ½ tbsp salt over the chicken pieces and toss. Allow to sit for 20 minutes while making the marinade.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, juice from half a lemon, vegetable oil, soy sauce, and black pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the salted chicken, tossing to combine. Let it marinate for 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water during the marinade time and while preparing vegetables.
- Seed and cut bell peppers into 2-inch pieces and cut onions into similarly sized pieces. Quarter the remaining lemon half for serving.
- Preheat the grill to 450℉. Assemble the skewers by alternating chicken and vegetables, leaving space between ingredients.
- Brush skewers with extra marinade before grilling.
- Place skewers on the grill without overcrowding and grill for 7-8 minutes, avoiding unnecessary movement to achieve grill marks.
- After 7-8 minutes, flip the skewers and turn them 2-3 times until fully cooked.
- Check for doneness using a meat thermometer; chicken is done at 165℉. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
For a sweeter taste, marinate chicken longer than 20 minutes.
Using metal skewers eliminates the soaking time needed for wooden skewers.
Feel free to customize vegetables based on your preference.
